The Invitation

Lue Han came over to discuss the Aqua Illusion Project at 10 AM. Lue Han and his assistant, Nico, arrived on the 79th floor and headed to the conference room. Once they reached, they quickly loaded their files into the computer to which the projector was connected and displayed 3D images at the front.

While Lue Han and his assistant were getting the set up done, Long Kue went to notify the prince. He tapped lightly on the door, standing two steps away from it and announced, "Prince, Lue Han is here and they are ready."

The prince stood up from his desk, upon being notified of Lue Han's arrival. He walked out, making his way for the conference room.

The moment Lue Han realized the prince's presence; he went up to the prince to greet him. "Prince Hue Chi, I hope all is well with you."

Even though Lue Han worked in the east wing, they rarely crossed paths unless the matter was something important to warrant consult of the prince.

The prince gave him a nod and sat down, facing the front of the room. "Start."

Even though the projected screen could be easily adjusted by touching the projected image, Lue Han chose to press the button on the remote instead, for he wanted to avoid being in the way of the images. He pressed the remote in his hand and began with the presentation.

"As you may be already aware that the project is about 20 miles radius along the beach with continuous shops, restaurants, bars, hotels, and designated piers for cruises. Half of the strip is designed for families and children, which will include lots of recreational activities and amusement water parks. The other half is for adults. We want to attract people of all ages and all interests. There will be a designated port for all the companies' cruises. It is supposed to bring in more tourists and attractions to Aires and more money. The location of the beach is the middle point between Lyon and Cleotara countries, a great location for business and building friendships between the three countries."

Prince Hue Chi listened intently and asked, "I looked through the documents. It is the first time we've ever contracted outside of the country. Why SNYS Consultant?

Lue Han felt that the prince asked a great and valid question. He proceeded to answer.

"Four years ago, they were in charge of Herrs Corporation renovation. It was part of their graduate proposal project. Supposedly, Herrs Corporation's building was off the chart in terms of look, designs, and even security systems. It is the best right now in Lyon country." Lue Han clicked the remote in his hand. The 3D image changed according to what he was presenting.

"The consultancy only has three employees and that includes a male office assistant and two females. They have specialized in architectural engineering, interior design, and security system. After that, they've worked on two big projects, the Luxury Pavilion Resort for Cleotara and Amnesia Attractions for Gyia countries."

Hearing Lue Han's report of SNYS Consultant left the prince amused. How could two young females possibly be so formidable? He was not sure if he should trust them based on their past work histories or be more wary of them because of their skills.

"Invite SNYS Consultant to come here. Have them fly here and station them in Skyline Ship at the port. I need them to see the area beforehand," the prince ordered.

As a person who oversaw the well-being of an entire country, he had to personally meet the people who would be involved with anything related to his country, especially then since this project was important with lots of resources invested in it.

"Yes, your highness. I'll arrange everything. Thank you for your support," Lue Han replied. Although their contractor had already seen the land, he couldn't reject the prince's order. He knew that the prince must have other means for wanting the contractor to come beforehand. He must find a reason for their short-notice visit. Lue Han then signaled his assistant to arrange the trip for SNYS Consultant.

Back at Lyon country, at SNYS Consultant office, Yu Ping, the office assistant turned on the computer after he brewed coffee. He saw an email notification from Ether Company and clicked on the email. It was a request to visit Aires.

Yu Ping gasped and let out a sharp breath. "OH, MY GODDD..."

Yu Sha who was lying on the couch lifted her head up afraid that something disastrous was up. "What? What?"

"We just received an invitation from Ether to go to Aires for the Aqua Illusion project. A pre-visit!" Yu Ping explained, his eyes beaming.

It was time to go and have some fun.

"Yeesss," Yu Sha exclaimed and jumped out of the couch.

Earlier, she was like a snail that could not budge a centimeter, but now she was full of energy but she was quick enough to come to her senses, "Wait… what? Why? Isn't it a little too early? The project won't start until 2 weeks from now. Could they want us to start early?" Starting early, meant getting done early, so who wouldn't be excited?

Su Na came through the entrance ready to discuss the final draft that was about to start in two weeks.

Yu Sha stared at Su Na like she was in love with her. Su Na felt grossed of the vibes from Yu Sha. "What's with the awkward look?"

"Ether... Ether invited us to Aires to meet the CEO and visit the place of our next project." Yu Sha shouted in excitement.

Su Na was taken aback a little at the sudden news. She had met the VP of Ether when the VP came into Lyon and then she flew to Aires to sign the contract. She had inspected the ground and had satellite visual simulation of the land. The depth, length, distances of the place was calculated perfectly. The project they submitted was approved by Ether as well. Could she have possibly missed something?

"What else did they say? When do they want us to get there?" Su Na asked.

"By tomorrow noon. They will send in tickets soon per the email here," Yu Ping replied as he re-read the e-mail.
